When did you have to have "The Talk" with your children?
It was the spring of 1997 my daughter was 12 and my son was 11, when this 'Single Dad Custodial Parent' had to have 'The Talk'...
I reached into the console of my truck and discovered the little bastards has raided my stash and it was completely dry...
Time for 'The Talk!'
And years of not keeping weed on hand, make them get their own...

Being a single dad custodial parent wasn't easy... continued

My first thought was the risk to custody if their youthful indiscretion put them in a situation where it could come back to me.

That 'Young Hip DARE Officer' at school running the 'Narc On Your Parents Program' could pounce on any thread of information and certainly children that young were a valid concern that they wouldn't know what to say...

Or worse them being caught for possession of marijuana could ruin their whole life with an arrest record... Continued

Yes... Time for that talk...

We sat down and I told them no, I wasn't mad they stole my stash...

I was going to miss it but it was okay...

I was hoping you guys would wait a little while longer and be more mature but here we are...

The friendly DARE officer is not your friend, but don't let him know otherwise. His job is to arrest people and ruin their lives. Don't tell him anything! Ever!

Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol except for the law. Continued

In fact I'd prefer that you smoke weed rather than drink alcohol.

You need to be discrete, make sure that you hang out with the cool kids. The kids who don't show off that they smoke weed. The ones that keep it low key and are sure of their surroundings before pulling it out and smoking or even talking about it...

Be careful because with anything that gets you high you can spend too much time doing it and not be responsible. Continued

You need to do your school work, and all the other things you are supposed to do 1st. Then it's party time...

Don't get busted!

That is all...

Evidently it worked, they graduated school and grew up just fine without incident, and are reasonably successful...

They turn me on to some weed sometimes now... LOL

My daughter's oldest is 11 and I wonder when she'll have to do 'The Talk'...

SomehowI'm not worried for her...
I think she'll do just fine!
